think their daughters do love them. They will
think this when they cannot remember ever
to have had a confidential interchange of
thoughts aspirations and secrets, such as we
have only with those we love and fully trust.
They cannot remember when they had a
caress or anything but formal kiss; and
yet they think their daughters love them.
Apply these tests: We confide in those we
love. Does your daughter reveal her heart
to you? We like to be with those we love.
Does your daughter long for your compan-
ionship? Does she really enjoy being with
you? Will she forsake the society of others
to be with you? If your daughter has loved
you and confided in you from infancy. and
found in you that true friend that she ought
to find. do you think she will forget all this
and go contrary to your wishes? She will
not fall in love- but will enter into love de-
iberately, and her father, who has her con-
fidence, can counteract the leading if he sees
fit. When young man comes to steal her
heart he will find the old gentleman at
home. If he wants that heart he must ask
for it, and satisfy all parties concerned of his
ability to treasure it. If he be sneak thief
he will soon be gone. If he be true knight
he will enter upon the conquest with a
manly courage and bearing that are them
selves evidence of his worthiness.-Child

one for a period longer than one
season. He has two on his hands at
present, the Reva and Daring. Mr..
Aspinwall has built or had built from his
designs thirteen steam yachts, and the
boat he now owns is the Sentinel, a
beautiful vessel well adapted for every
purpose for which yachts are intended,
not only speed, in which it easily attains
fifteen knots an hour, but comfort, in
which respect it is excelled by few even
of the greater craft. The Sentinel is
100 feet long and is made of iron.
1t is curious feature of steam yachts
that although they cost tremendously to
build, it is seldom that one sells for half
what the owner paid for it originally.
A member of the American Club speak
ing of this gave the writer the following
explanation:
"You see," he said, "when a man
makes up his mind to have yacht he
naturally wants one that shall be after
his own ideas. One man wants speed,
another comfort; one wants bathroom
arranged according to particular notion;
another has an idea that library is just
what will make a boat perfect for him !;
and third wants to have rosewood
trimmings on the companionway, or
hammered brass on the keel, or some
other such nonsense. The result is that
no boat already built will suit him. But
after all 1t is fashion that DEGREES that a
man must have his own individual boat.
1t is not so good form to own second
hand affair, you know. By buying boat
that another man has used you tacitly
confess that you are not equal to getting
one of your own, and men who are anx-
ious to keep up with the fashion would
as soon think of buying another fellows
steam yacht as woman would of buy
ing an elegant dress secondhand. So
you see that drives the prices for ready
made craft away down, and for $4,000
a fellow might get very fair craft, just
as good for all practical purposes as a
man needs. And after that if ne wants
to he can spend few thousands advan-
tageously in ripping up the characteristic
furnishings and replacing them with
others that will make his boat look quite
like another craft to the Impractical eye"
When the public learns that a very
fair craft may be got for $4,000 there
will probably be such bull market for
steam yachts as to send the prices up
again where they belong. Forty thou
sand is such bagatelle for steamboat |

EDUCATING GIRLS.
Circumspection in After Life Largely
Matter of Training.

Matter of Training.
That girls like bad boys best and that they
will forsake father and mother, disregard
the advice of their truest friends and bring
desolation to the hearts of all rather than
renounce absolute fellow are facts too
patent to require proof. What is the cause
of this? In well-to-do families the girls are
spared every effort and deprived of every
opportunity to exercise their will power, and
consequently grow up wholly unprepared to
exercise judgment, decision and action. The
sentimental poetic delrious period arrives.
The emotional nature, under the stimulus of
awakening faculties, now becomes supreme,
and the girl is wholly under its control.
There should be no difference in girls and
boys life until they are ten years of age.
She GU hit to be the equal of her brother in
out-of-door sports. Until they are fifteen
years of age they ought to have the same
training in school. As much ought to be
expected from her as from him. After that
time their education should differ, according
to their different spheres of action. A true
affection is an anchor to character, and if a
girls life were securely anchored at home
she would not be so easily driven out to sea.
The father, rather than the mother, is or can
be favorite with the daughter. If father
wishes to fortify his daughter against folly
let him retain her love and confidence,
not simply respect and esteem, but
love. And to do this he must feed the
Il love of the child until that love ripens
A into the genuine affection of woman.
IN Many fathers deceive themselves. They

STEAM YACHTS.
BOATS THAT NEED A
FORTUNE TO MAINTAIN THEM.

This question was asked the other Gay
by a would-be swell, young fellow who
has been shifting about from one side OF
the market to the other in Wall street
for few me nths past and invariably
managed to be on the right side at the
right moment. 1t has resulted in build
ing him up fortune so suddenly that
he has not had time to do anything but
watch it grow, and now it is incumbent
upon him to spend it in order to evil
dence his prosperity. He knew that
nothing would do this more effectively
than the purchase of steam yacht, for
that toy is the last luxury that men OF
great wealth secure for their pleasure.
When city and country residences have
been built and furnished on palatial
plan, when the poor-house is hidden for
ever behind pile of millions, when the
title money King" has been applied to
him, then does the man of wealth look
about him to see if he can spare enough
from his resources to buy yacht. The
reply that this young man got, therefore,
startled him:
ooh, for $4,000 you can get very
fair thing, if you don't want big boat"
The young man remarked that he did
not care to purchase a Cunarder, and
then retired to the solitude of his own
thoughts and concluded to devote few
more months to getting on the right side
of the market before he called boat
builder into consultation. He saw clearly
that steam yachting was truly dis
tinctive enjoyment and sport of the
tremendously rich; that while in other
respects a man of moderate fortune or
even good salary might successfully
initiate the features of life that are
generally supposed to typify wealth,
that he might dress as well as Wander
bilt, go to the opera like an Astor and
live on Fifth avenue like Gould, there

could be no fooling with steam yacht;
that that form of ostentation could not be
slammed. For it is the most exclusive
kind of recreation that the world has
ever known. 1t has only arisen within
a few years, or since men have sue
ceeded in piling up wealth to such
height as to justify and make necessary
the discovery of a new form of pleasure
that should eclipse anything that had
preceded it.
And yet it is quite possible for men of
moderate means to get much of the fun
out of steam yachting if they will aban-
don all hope of being in style while they
are about it. For the immense expense
of boats of this class comes mainly in
the furnishings. A small boat, say
thirty-fve feet long, may be obtained for
two or three thousand dollars and be
quite capable of taking several people
on pleasure cruises on rivers, in bays
and sounds, and along the coasts. The
same boat adapted to the requirements
of fashionable yachting could be made
to cost upward of $4,000 without any
more thought than a little word
whispered into the ear of the builder;
and even then its size would prevent it
from taking anything more than very
insignificant place among the pleasure
craft of its class. Even the Stiletto,
which is usually spoken of as "the little
Stiletto," is ninety-four feet long over
all, and ninety on the water-line. And
it was very expensive boat to build,
too. There are a few steam yachts
much exceed fifty feet that take re-
spectacle place among the toys of the
wealthy, but their expense is vastly
greater than their size would seem to
indicate. Among these are the Rover,
owned by Morris K. Jessup, of Newport,
r. l., and the Xantho, owned by ]. B.
Watkins, of Lake Charles, La. These
are good boats, and with their costly fur
nishings required big sums of money to
make ready for use. But it is not the
initial expense alone that marks the aris-
tocracy of steam yachts as a means of
sport and amusement. 1t must cost at
least 800 month to run the Rover dur
ing the season without counting what
ever expense the owner may see fit to
incur in the entertaining of guests.
There is only one steam yachting as
ISOLATION in America-the American
Yacht Club of New York. The boats

Berlin has lost one of its most interesting
landmarks in the demolition of Bouche's
Blumengarten. In former years this garden
was the rendezvous of the most distinguished
literary lights of Berlin. The geographer,
Karl Ritter, used to read his proofs in one of
its arbors, and Schleiermacher meditatively
walked in its shady paths and prepared his
Sunday sermons.

PRESERVING MOUNT VERNON.
The Home of Washington Being Kept as
a Model Farm.

Mount Vernon, under the management of
lady regents, is now model farm. In the
dining-room is the sideboard used by the
family and returned to Mount Vernon by
Mrs. Robert E. Lee, the great granddaught
of Mrs. Washington. The room in which
Washington died is fitted up throughout
with the original furniture. The vice regent
for Virginia is Mrs. Emma Read Ball, whose
husband is a grandson of Washington's
niece. The estate, which includes 200 acres,
is kept in fine state of cultivation The
revenue comes from the sale of flowers and
sweet milk, which latter is sold by the glass
in the family kitchen. Under the conditions
of transfer the mansion must be kept in re-
pair, but it must not be changed In the
flower garden the box plant which edges the
walks is preserved in the exact design of the
hedges planted by Washington. The four
big sweet shrub trees, given to him by JEFF
ferson, still grow in beauty where they were
planted so long ago. The guide book to the

from Mr.. q. FrasCb, of San Antonio,
who is now travelling in Germany. The
letter is dated from BOnfed, in Wurtem-
burg, and said the party intend starting
on their return to America September
9TH. Mr.. Frasch thinks Germany is far
behind the times, America being away
ahead. Even the beer is not so good.
Owing to so much rain last March the
crops are poor, and fruit Is scarce; cher
ries are retailed at 20c per pound. In
the many towns through which they
passed the Inhabitants are not so clearly
as in America, and he frequently saw
great manure heaps in front OF the houses,
and in fact these heaps seem to be the
receptacle for all garbage and filth of
the family. The fare Is not so good, not
as well served and not as cheap per
meal as In America, and in fact Mr..
Frasch wants to get back to America
and San Antonio. He has visited the
cities of Bremen. Hanover, Giesen, Cas-
sci, Frankfort, Darmstadt, Heidelberg,

discovered about 8 O'Clock Sunday night.
1t is believed that it ignited from the
steam pipes which worked inside the
pumps. Efforts were first made 20
smother the fire with steam,
but before morning the flames were
leaping 80 feet above the mouth of the
slope. The neighboring stream was
drained and the diverted coal dirt was
washed into the air way to cut the fire

was talked over. Architect Murphy's

assisted him. II the courthouse is
